See Rio Celeste (Light Blue River), Costa Rica

The Río Celeste (Light Blue River) is one of Costa Rica’s most spectacular rivers. Located in the northern reaches of the country within the Tenorio Volcano National Park. This awe-inspiring river turns sky blue due to the emanation of sulfur from the volcano and precipitation of calcium carbonate. Traveling upstream where one can see the waters stretch into an impressing waterfall. Further up one will find calm lagoons and a littler farther up, one will discover the source in itself a marvel; the place from which the waters get their lively and original color of the sky. Getting to the river will require a drive on a rough 20+ km road but its worth it in the end. Get a 4 x 4 to really enjoy the area although a regular car can get here from the main road but not the new short cut from highway 6 which reduces the journey from Liberia significantly .
